Seasonality by month (5y average)

Each cell is a brand's average Share of Search in that calendar month over the last five years, indexed to the brand's own average (100). Warm cells are a brand's hot months, cool cells its quiet ones. The strongest seasonal peak belongs to Wolt in August (index 248); the deepest trough is Wolt in October (index 48).

Notable search spikes (last 6m)

The largest statistically unusual jumps or drops in a brand's weekly Share of Search over the last 6 months, each paired with the most likely cause. A spike is flagged when a brand's search interest moves several standard deviations from its recent norm; the magnitude is the size of that move against the brand's own baseline. Direction shows whether interest rose or fell.

Brand correlations (last 12m)

How brands' weekly Share of Search moved relative to one another over the last 12 months. A positive correlation means two brands rise and fall together — a shared audience, consideration set, or category-level demand. A negative correlation means that when one gains search attention the other tends to lose it — a sign of direct substitutes competing for the same interest.

Move together — strongest positive

These brands tend to rise and fall in tandem, pointing to a shared audience or a category-level wave lifting them at the same time.

Move apart — strongest negative

When one of these brands gains search share the other tends to give it up — the clearest read on direct substitutes. Note that Share of Search is a slice of a fixed 100%, so a little negative correlation is structural (strongest between the largest brands); similarly sized pairs are the more telling substitution signals.

Economic factors (last 3y)

How the sector's overall search interest tracks key macroeconomic indicators. A positive r means search tends to rise as the indicator rises; a negative r means search rises as the indicator falls. A strong correlation can reflect genuine economic sensitivity or simply a shared long-run trend, so weigh the direction against a plausible mechanism.
